Posting to small difference account (DIF account key)

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I'm a FI/CO consultant and would need your suggestions in regards to posting of amount to small difference account (DIF). After invoice verification of 2 inbound delivery numbers there is certain amount posted to "DIF".

Please suggest how do I drill down to find out which amoutn is posted to DIF.

Eg: Delivery number 12345Y has articles from 5 different POs, how do I find the source of the amount posted to DIF.

I tried checking through RSEG, however not able to pin point the reason for posting to DIF.

One information is "for this vendor we use automatic invoice verification". As part of that, last month there were many issues and we posted some invoices manually where some of the IVs went through before GR.

Note: GR based IV is not set and so IV can happen before GR, like what happened last month out of mistake.

Hi

You can take the P&L Account for DIF Account Key and make the postings.

Thanks.

Hello Soujanya,

Please note that DIF line defined for small differences will only appear in the FI document as it is an

automatically generated posting line.

Regarding the tax amount calculated for small differences please

review the following information provided by our developer:

"If the flag 'Calculate tax' is set only the calculated tax

of the items is shown. The tax calculation for the small difference

takes place later while simulating or posting."

This means the tax portion of the small difference is not shown either

in the material document, only in the corresponding FI document.

This is the standard design of the system.

I hope this helps to clarify the issue for you.

Hi Raymond,

Thanks for the information about posting of tax. The scenario that I'm facing is not just about tax, it is about a large amount posted to small differences account for 2 delivery refrence numbers (around 500$ and 200$ for each of the delivery numbers). That's when the finance manager wants to confirm the reason for the same.

These 2 delivery refrence numbers have articles from different POs. And some of the articles GR is not through, however Invoice verification is through (as it is not GR based IV)

I've checked OMR6 and found only the absolute upper limit is maintained at 10$.

For example, IV for an article A is done at 23$ and the GR is not done yet.....in such scenario, how would the amount get posted, i.e. 10$ tolerance limit amount and 13$ remaining amount.

Soujanya.

Dear Soujanya,

I m facing issue related to your comment. Actually there is a small difference amount which is of 1 INR and this amount should go in GL which we have mainted in DIF, but in simulation I can see only 0.84 paisa is going in that GL and rest 16 paisa is of difference.

help me to my issue solved

Thanks and Regards,

From the MM invoice doc. (item = RSEG) you can work your way to the FI invoice doc. it's only in the FI doc that you'll see the posting to small differences.
